The CEO of a large building company in North Dakota is offering President Donald Trump the construction 234 miles of the border wall on the U.S.-Mexico border for just $1.4 billion.

Tommy Fisher, the CEO and President of Fisher Sand and Gravel Company said his construction would be 80 percent less expensive than the proposed cost for the government's wall.

Fisher told the Washington Examiner that the government is paying too much for the wall, insisting that $4.31 billion would build the wall, border technology, paved roads, and even a warranty added to it.

“Our whole point is to break through the government bureaucracy,” Fisher said.

“If they do the small procurements as they are now … that’s not going to cut it.”

$1.4 billion in funding for 55 miles of border wall in the Rio Grande Valley was approved by Congress, falling short of Trump's demands for the $5.7 billion.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi requested Democrats to back the congressional resolution yesterday to block President Donald Trump's national emergency declaration.

"The President's decision to go outside the bounds of the law to try to get what he failed to achieve in the constitutional legislative process violates the Constitution and must be terminated," Pelosi wrote in a letter sent to lawmakers earlier in the week.
